Paragon Puppies

Paragon Puppies, run by Miranda Johnson, breeds standard poodles, golden retrievers, and dachshunds in Aiken, South Carolina, about 20 miles from Augusta, Georgia.

The program's roots go back to 2013, when the first litter of standard poodles arrived, making that breed the longest-running focus of the kennel. Golden retrievers were added in 2022, drawing on Miranda's childhood family experience raising the breed; the goal is to produce dogs that blend American and English golden retriever lines. Mini dachshund breeding began in 2020, with adults in the program typically weighing between 10 and 13 pounds. Most of the dachshunds are AKC-registered miniature longhairs, though smooth-coat puppies are occasionally produced as well.

All three breeds are registered through AKC, and puppies are handled daily from an early age. Families across the Southeast and beyond have taken home dogs from Paragon Puppies, with placements reaching states from Maine to California. Those looking for standard poodle, golden retriever, or dachshund puppies in South Carolina will find a family-operated program that covers all three breeds under one roof.
